"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
He's so fine wish he were mine
That good looking boy over there the one with the coal black hair
I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'm gonna make him mine
He's the envy of all the rest he's just a matter of time
He's so soft spoken guy oh so sweet kinda shy
Makes me wonder if I should even give him a try
But then again he can't shy he can't shy away forever
And I'm gonna make him mine if it takes me forever
Oh he's so fine gotta be mine
Sooner or later hope it's not later
We gotta get together the sooner the better
I just can't wait I just can't wait to be held in his arms
If I were a queen honey ask me to leave my throne
I'd do anything that he'd ask anything to make him my own
'Cause he's so fine so fine he's so fine
'Cause he's so fine so fine he's so fine
He's so soft spoken guy...
That good looking boy over there the one with the coal black hair
I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'm gonna make him mine
He's the envy of all the rest he's just a matter of time
He's so soft spoken guy oh so sweet kinda shy
Makes me wonder if I should even give him a try
But then again he can't shy he can't shy away forever
And I'm gonna make him mine if it takes me forever
Oh he's so fine gotta be mine
Sooner or later hope it's not later
We gotta get together the sooner the better
I just can't wait I just can't wait to be held in his arms
If I were a queen honey ask me to leave my throne
I'd do anything that he'd ask anything to make him my own
'Cause he's so fine so fine he's so fine
'Cause he's so fine so fine he's so fine
He's so soft spoken guy...

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
